REVOLUTION BRIMS

Our speech is choked on broken breath, Their voice destroys us and makes our death, We're no longer heard above the sound, We're silenced and buried beneath the ground, Our soul screams in muffled dusgust, They've stolen our voice and tainted our trust, Silent despair looms and taunts, Their authoritive power doomed by haunts, Our revolution brims behind, We gather our soldiers and fight with mind, From within the beast we'll free the voice, We'll unchain the captured and return our choice.

HOPELESS DREAMS

The pounding hearts lonesome cry,
pierces through the grieving sky,
burning shards of tainted hopes,
within the souls of tangled ropes,

stripes are carved upon the blind,
starving those were meant to find,
the soul cries out from in the dark,
its piercing howl burns its mark,
we pretend to ignore the hidden words,
letting them pass us by like birds,
but the feathers tell us whats to come,
to warn us where to turn the thumb.

hopeless dreams lay beneath the sand,
buried deep into the land,
warning eyes drown the soul,
thicken our sky's black like coal,

the past is drenched in rotten lies,
history tainted by passing cries,
the presents burdened by what did pass,
and the future doomed to never last.
fate does spiral in wicked ways,
tossing love a spiteful gaze,
piercing hearts and tenders souls,
with death, depression and deceitful tolls.

masks and costumes hide the truth,
destined belief hidden, no proof,
deception contorts our past events,
erasing the love our heart represents.
deepened stars slice the skys,
engraved emotions deny all lies.

BROKEN ENDS

Body limp, Mind blanked,
Heart torn, Soul clamped,
Fingers cling on knots in ropes,
Tightened by their forgotten hopes,
Dreams extinguished, Broken eneds,
The future dangles, It all depends,
Stars sparkle, But thunder slices,
Decissions doom, Choice despises,
Lost in greed, The heart is torn,
Lover or friend, Which to scorn,
Body numb, Mind silent,
Heart broken, Soul deifent.

UNCONSCIOUS LOVERS

Beauty’s buried below the ground,

It’s heart and mind tightly bound,

The scars of another free it’s pain,

And rivers of blood connect the chain,

Two prisoners fall, heavy and hard,

It pierces deep like a sharp glass shard,

The heart demands pain for love,

And kills a flock to free one dove,

Splintered arrows distort the path,

Subjecting unconscious lover to wrath,

Their muffled voice creates the words,

Their message echoes and flies like birds.

UNSPOKEN

Death is our connection,
Life is our release,
Love is our power,
Hate is our fear,

Reality is distorted,
Choice is with held,
Opinions are revoked,
Emotions are provoked,

Our destinys fixed,
Our fates locked,
Our fantasy destroyed,
Our dreams employed,

Living gives nothing,
Dying takes all,
Lifes a trial,
Deaths denial,

Two hearts combine,
Two souls divide,
Families broken,
Friendships unspoken,

Blind to deception,
Blind to truth,
Blind to emotion,
Blind to the unspoken.

DOVES TAKE FLIGHT

The clouds creep over to splinter the light,

As darkness falls the doves take flight,

Salty waves do flood my dreams,

And muffle all but helpless screams,

A bond once drawn deep in sand,

Or carved within an innocent hand,

Now threatens present and future stars,

To inflict upon us sinful scars,

Mysterious masks contort new faces,

And leave us painful imprinted traces,

A connection made between lost hopes,

Ties endless knots in broken ropes,

Forgiveness ask of self sacrifice,

Or to pick a number and bet by the dice,

The skys won't provide our prophecy,

Thats for us to find the right key.
